I normally wouldn't ask this question concerning flight/hotel packages, but since the stupid fraud situation really F'ed up booking an earlier package deal, I am desperate!!!

I am crying over the fact how the prices are going up for a flight/hotel package for Las Vegas to see my friend getting married. I plan on heading out there from the 4th through the 6th (whichever is cheaper) and come back home on the 8th of July.

Other than the obvious online places (cheaptickets.com, expedia, and orbitz) can anyone please send over some helpful information? I am pulling my hair out, and I am stressing out like crazy! I was going to have this done weeks earlier, but then I had NO choice but to close down my account. Therefore, online websites ask for a credit card to make payments. This totally sucks!! Anyway...

Can anyone help me? Please???? :crying:

Priceline has a Name Your Own Price thing for hotels.

My mom and I did it literally like 5 hours before we checked in and we got a really nice suite for $110. It was amazing. But the thing is, once you name your price, location, and the rating of the hotel you want, you don't get a choice. They charge your card for that room without confirming anything first. So it's kind of a gamble, but it can also be really convenient.


EDIT-- Just kidding, I just reread your post. I dont know what you can do without a credit card.

What about a Debit card?

Thanks for your advice, AllIWantIsYourClutch! Yikes...gambling a possibility is really a big risk.

Thanks, Courtnee. Actually, I think I should've explained more about my card situation. I had to cancel my old one because of fraud problems (if anyone remembers this from three weeks ago). I brought it up implying that is the reason why I couldn't purchase my tickets three weeks ago. So, it wasn't my fault because of that ********! I had to cancel the card. A new one is on the way, but since the dates are closer, I was wondering what other good deals there are for "last minute" deals.

Keep 'em coming! Thanks, guys. :D

Hey guys.... just wanted to let you all know that I was told to look through Southwest Airline's "package deals" on their website. I found a fair-priced package and took it.

Thanks again for those of you who posted here. :)
